[GH85Carrera]

I was running an errand and using I-35 which is just two miles east of my house. On the way back I got off at my normal exit and there was a large pickup sideways in the off ramp, and a tow truck driver working to load it up. I figured it was smart too turn on my emergency flashers to let anyone else exiting there to slow down and stop as there was no going around.

I guess when I rebuilt the steering column, I got something slightly out of alignment as the emergency flashers would not cancel. So I drove the two miles home with my emergency flashers flashing.

I had to use the steering wheel puller to get the steering wheel off, and I could see behind the lock-plate a way to move the flasher button. Reassemble, and all is fine.

It is a strange feeling pulling the steering wheel off, and I use a wrench to tighten a large bolt pushing on the center while tow temporary bolts are in place to give the puller something to pull against. The sensation is just like stripping out a bolt as it suddenly gets a little easier to turn, but not yet, turn some more, and it is almost sure stripped, and them the wheel is lose and all is normal.

The Germans made it easy. Just remove the large nut, and the wheel comes right off. Getting it back in place is easy, just tighten up the 7/8 bolt and put the horn button back on.
